Help with Newton's Cadle

I'm trying so hard to create an animation of Newton's cradle through 3ds max 2014, using MassFX, but I just can't get the first ball to act right.
I've got the wire to look at the ball, but the ball moves anywhere it wants to, separating from the wire.
I've tried moving the axis of the ball to the top, failed.
I've tried a Universal constraint and a Hinge constraint, which gets me closer to the right effect, but again failed.
PLEASE, help me......
